Teacup Piglets – Cute Little Pigs as Pets
A friend sent me an email about Teacup pigs yesterday. If you haven’t seen them, they are waaaaay tooooo cute. They’re named Teacups because they can literally fit inside one. Seriously, and regretfully, it’s really kinda’ embarrassing to be a grown man melting over these things, but I am. They ARE that adorable. I don’t know how well they’d do with my kitties though, but I’m certain they would go over pretty well with my daughters.
According to what I’ve read, teacup pigs do make great pets.
How cute are Teacup piglets? They are so cute that they probably live in the constant danger of being hugged to death. Take a look:

Sadly, it appears that there are not too many in the US – yet. They are selling like little pork sausages (sorry ’bout that) in the U.K. though. From what I hear, they’re not cheap either; buying one could easily set you back $1,000 – if you can even find a teacup piglet for sale because demand is high. Yikes! That does take some of the cuteness away I’m afraid.
I’m being very cautious to not let my daughters see or hear of them. It wouldn’t take too much convincing for me to drop $1k on a little guy.
Nice pig you got there Dan.
When my daughter was about 5 I convinced her that she wanted a pot belly pig.
